what the heck?can't upload flag?
i've been trying to upload a flag which is definately less than 6KB (in fact i cut the JPEG quality down until it looks like a lousy spray-painting job), the approved 107x71 px size, and it won't let me upload it because supposedly it's to big.
here's the flag in question, for reference:

If you are using "Save as..." rather than "Save for Web" in photoshop, the JPEG's it creates are 10 times larger than they need to be.

I used it as my own flag, just to post it here, I had to shrink it with Paint Shop 7. Just download it now with your right mouse-click, and you have it. It is a cool flag, but I rather have my own flag back, so inform me when you have it on your nation :lol:
